Catterick (2004) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
My name is Carl Palmer.
I've returned home to find the son I abandoned in Catterick when he was just four years old.
This is the story of that search.
- Our Carl, I'm over 'ere! - It's nice to see you, man.
- Let's get the pints in, eh? - Good to see you! - How are we gonna get to Catterick? - By car.
- We haven't got a car.
- Let's go get one, then.
- I was interested in one of your cars.
- Let's go for a test drive.
- All right? - Jesus, who's the monkey? Watch your mouth, mate, that's me brother.
- Oi! Fuckers.
- Whoo-hoo! You two are dead.
(CHRIS) So where to now? Where else but a four-crown-rated English Tourist Board hotel? What level of luxury is four crowns? Oh, it's the best, man, you know.
You've got en suite TV and bath, minibar, 24-hour room service, tea and coffee-making facilities, in the room, mind.
So basically it's the ultimate in luxury.
Nah, Chris, that would be five crowns.
- So what do you get for the extra crown? - A nightly pillow chocolate and slippers.
Oh, man, that's too much luxury.
A man could suffocate in such luxury.
(SIREN) (AMERICAN ACCENT) OK, listen up.
I am Detective Fowler, and I will be leading this investigation to its dreadful conclusion.
Cordon off this entire area with the finest silken thread.
Erect roadblocks on every adjacent highway and seal off every potential escape route.
To work! Double vodka, please.
- What? - Double vodka.
Oh.
You know, a couple of rooms at the Mermade have got four-posters.
So? I've got five posters on my wall.
Well, four and a 'alf.
I ripped George Clooney when he left ''ER''.
Oh, that's a shame, that is.
You got a lot of pleasure out of that poster.
Have you found a replacement yet? Yes, I've looked round and I've found a replacement poster.
- Oh, yeah, what is it? - Kevin Bacon.
I'm sorry, I don't know him.
Oh, right, him out of ''Footloose'', yeah.
Hold on a minute, Chris.
I'm not 'appy with this, Chris.
I'm not 'appy at all.
- I've been stupid, haven't I, Carl? - Yeah, you have a bit, to be honest.
What's happening over the road? I don't know.
There was a robbery or something.
Quite dramatic.
Took the owner away in an ambulance.
Was he dead? I don't know.
I don't think so.
They took him out on a stretcher.
He had tubes attached and all that shit.
He were flattened like a spatchcock.
- What? - It's a type of flattened chicken.
- D'you want one? We're doing a special - No! Did anyone see owt? Don't know.
The police talked to Ian and Glen for ages.
Five pound.
Oh, right.
Thanks very much.
D'you know, Chris, you're just being stupid.
It was a perfectly good George Clooney poster.
Someone else could have got a lot of pleasure out of it too, and you've just ripped it in 'alf.
It's ridiculous.
I'm going to get some air.
(Sorry.
) Terrible business over the road.
Did you see? No, no.
To be honest, we were busy drinking with a mate and his brother.
- He's just out of the army.
- You don't mean Carl, do you? Blond hair? Short-arse? - Yeah.
D'you know him? - Know him? I served with him in the Battle of Britain.
(Shit.
) Oh, I've missed him, 'ave I? It's just I owe him some money.
I wish I'd caught him.
How unfortunate.
Do you have an address? I imagine he's staying with his brother Chris.
I'll write it down for you if you like.
Hey, baby man, I need to see your mate and his monkey.
Now give me the address.
It's all right, man, Glen, it's his friend.
Last chance, baby man! Now give me the address! Hey, thanks.
Really.
It's a great help.
I'll go and catch up with him now.
See you around.
'Ere, d'you reckon a crabstick dispenser would go down well in the toilet, next to a blob machine? Lads? Lads? So there I was, surrounded by dirty bum-lickin' scumbags in one of the most notorious brothels on the Eastern Seaboard.
A cop alone and in serious trouble.
What they didn't know was that I had concealed my pistol in my Tooperware box.
Yes, I owe my life to Tooperware.
Yes, what is it, Sergeant Mingemungeington? Sir, erwhat's Tooperware? You know, it's an airtight, see-through range of plastic convenience boxes.
For transporting cookies, pretzels, turkey jerky, corn muffins Erit's pronounced ''Tupperware'', sir.
OK, I concealed my pistol in my Tooperware box.
OK, enough already.
We've got work to do.
I want that Range Rover.
I want it yesterday.
It is my destiny to confront this beast.
May the police force be with you.
My God! The Mermade.
Has Mr Clooney heard about what you've done? - How d'you think that would make him feel? - Look, I'm sorry! You're gonna write a letter of apology, Chris, that's what you're gonna do.
Help you? Could I check in? I'm Palmer.
I've got a double room for two nights.
Oh, yeah.
Mr Palmer.
Are you here for fun or specially for the flotilla? They say it's gonna be the best ever this year.
Ermno, not for the flotilla.
We're just 'ere for fun, I suppose.
And a rest.
- I've just had a long flight from Cyprus.
- Mm, Cyprus, eh? How exotic.
- I expect you've still got the shits, have yer? - Sorry? No, no, no, I'm nice and, er nice and stiff, thanks.
I had six hard-boiled eggs on the flight.
Six? No way.
You're tickling my turnips, in't yer? No, I wouldn't do that.
It's an old army trick.
Honest.
Oh.
Is it? - So, this flotilla's popular, is it? - Very.
Did you not 'ear about last year's? It was terrible.
Three ships lost, 27 sailors injured, hundreds of spectators inconvenienced for months, all because one woman took it upon herself to bare her breasts in a gale force seven.
Still, seems to be better organised this year.
- (WHEEzES) - Ooh, whoops-a-daisy.
Is that for your asthma, is it? - No, just makes me feel better.
- Yeah, it does, doesn't it? - Doesn't last long.
- Oh, that's a shame.
So, erMr Palmer, that's room seven on the second floor.
- Someone will take you up.
- I like this, but the 'ead's too big.
(MUSIC: ''KINKY BOOTS'') Everybody's going for those kinky boots, kinky boots - # kinky boots # - I'll give you head in a minute.
Leave my fountain alone! How would you like it if I fingered YOUR rim? I'm not bothered.
Here we are, gentlemen.
Oh! Can we go anywhere in the room we want? Of course, sir, we allow, er complete freedom of movement.
Who made the bed? Your mam? - Erno, a chambermaid does it every day.
- I know.
(HINGES CREAK) (TV NEWS BROADCAST) Now we return to today's main i' em, the daylight robbery of Neil 's Wheels.
(FOWLER) Yes, I can confirm that we are linking today's attacks at Neil 's Wheels with a similar occurrence last week at Car Pavilion.
And can I assure you that I, DI Fowler, will catch this dickhead, using the most advanced DNA techniques.
I can smell his scent, and I will pursue him over swamp, over dale.
My God! Aare you 'ere for the flotilla, Mr Palmer? Ah, no, not really.
Although we've heard it's gonna be good this year, yeah? Bound to be better than last year's.
It was a bloodbath.
Don't know how many died.
It was too 'orrible to count.
It was summat to do with a woman getting her cowies out, wasn't it? You know, getting her, erm her bosoms out, yeah? Oh, yeah.
The bitch.
Look, Carl! Slippers! They're not meant to be 'ere.
It's only four-crown.
Oh, that's a new thing.
We're trying to obtain a fifth one.
Well, we don't want 'em.
We came 'ere to relax, not to suffocate.
Eras you wish.
(PHONE RINGS) (That's sick!) How could anyone do that? - (ANSWERPHONE BEEPS) - (IAN) Hello, Chris ? Carl? I'm just phoning to say that there's some fella after you.
He's a nasty piece of work.
Gave some bullshi' about owing you money.
We had to give him your address and he got qui' e violent.

Oh, try not to be so upset, George, man Yeah, of course you're devastated.
Hello there.
Yeah, could I have two fried eggs on toast, please? Room seven.
Was he really angry? He was more upset than angry, really, Chris.
Why's he sending us eggs, then? I'll tell you why.
Because he's a decent bloke.
He doesn't bear a grudge.
You're a lucky lad, Chris.

Every picture tells a story, and this one's a whodunnit.
- Oh, right, so who did do it? - I dunno.
Have you never heard anything about me son Paul whilst I was away? Read about him doing summat brave, or winning a trophy for running fast? Last I 'eard, he was working in Riley's Garden Centre on the Catterick Road, but that was three years ago.
- Who told you that, like? - Dan Dan the Shellfish Man.
Talk to him.
He moves about and he's a nosy get.

Thanks very much.
So, Mr Palmer, is everything OK? Yeah, it's a super little hotel, it really is.
And, erare you still egg-bound? Oh, no, no, I've unburdened meself, up in the room, you know.
It was spectacular.
It was like a Jean Michael Jarre concert.
You know, all singing and dancing.
I phoned up the port authority to alert them that there might be a blip on the radar.
It's the flotilla tomorrow.
Let's hope it doesn't get in the way.
Yeah.
There she blows! Man the poop deck! Shit ahoy! - (NEEDLE SKIPS ON RECORD ) - I'll, erjust go and fix my record deck.
- Nice fella, Mark, i'nt he? - Yeah.
As men go, yeah.
I like I like your scarf.
I bought it in a shop, so - Is there anywhere good around here? - Over there by the window's quite popular.
Yeah, I've been there.
It's a hell of a view, innit? I was exhausted after about two minutes.
To be honest with you, Tess, I, erprefer the view from here, really.
Oh, look, there's yourfriend up at the bar.
I'd better go and serve him.
Oh, right.
Hey, maybe we could have a dance later, eh? Maybe.
Did you see or hear anything? C'mon, it's like trying to draw blood out of a bowl with you guys.
No.
Nothin'.
No.
And you? Where did you get that damage to your chin? - My hunch is it's a recent occurrence.
- Me and Pat had a fight.
About what, may I incredulously inquire? - Whose hands - Were the heaviest.
Were the heaviest.
OK, I'll buy that for now.
But if any of you remember anything, give me a call.
Or dial 999 and ask for the American Eagle.
Oh, one more thing.
Might I ask that none of you leave Europe until this investigation is over? Come, Webster, we must away.
Pint of lager, pint of cider and a pint of bitter.
And a selection of pickles for two male adults, please, and make it snappy.
That's a crocodile joke.
Ha ha.
- See them coasters there? - Yeah.
They're multilayered.
There's no adhesive.
No adhesive? You're shitting on me.
I wouldn't do that.
I used to work in the paper factory.
Hey.
Hush, whisht, whisht.
Listen.
One day this bloke working the coaster press got his finger caught under the piston, and when he pulled it out, it had gone.
There was no evidence.
It just disappeared in a puff of smoke.
No way.
You're feeling my fanny.
And that lonely coaster press operative lives today to tell the tale.
And that blokeis not me.
Cheeky get, licking my arse like that.

Have you never heard anything about me son Paul whilst I was away? Read about him doing summat brave, or winning a trophy for running fast? Last I 'eard, he was working in Riley's Garden Centre on the Catterick Road, but that was three years ago.

And, erare you still egg-bound? Oh, no, no, I've unburdened meself, up in the room, you know.
It was spectacular.
It was like a Jean Michael Jarre concert.
You know, all singing and dancing.
I phoned up the port authority to alert them that there might be a blip on the radar.
It's the flotilla tomorrow.
Let's hope it doesn't get in the way.

Yeah, I've been there.
It's a hell of a view, innit? I was exhausted after about two minutes.
To be honest with you, Tess, I, erprefer the view from here, really.
Oh, look, there's yourfriend up at the bar.
I'd better go and serve him.
Oh, right.
Hey, maybe we could have a dance later, eh? Maybe.
Did you see or hear anything? C'mon, it's like trying to draw blood out of a bowl with you guys.
No.
Nothin'.
No.
And you? Where did you get that damage to your chin? - My hunch is it's a recent occurrence.
- Me and Pat had a fight.
About what, may I incredulously inquire? - Whose hands - Were the heaviest.
Were the heaviest.
OK, I'll buy that for now.
But if any of you remember anything, give me a call.
Or dial 999 and ask for the American Eagle.
Oh, one more thing.
Might I ask that none of you leave Europe until this investigation is over? Come, Webster, we must away.
Pint of lager, pint of cider and a pint of bitter.
And a selection of pickles for two male adults, please, and make it snappy.
That's a crocodile joke.

They're multilayered.
There's no adhesive.
No adhesive? You're shitting on me.
I wouldn't do that.
I used to work in the paper factory.
Hey.
Hush, whisht, whisht.
Listen.
One day this bloke working the coaster press got his finger caught under the piston, and when he pulled it out, it had gone.
There was no evidence.
It just disappeared in a puff of smoke.
No way.
You're feeling my fanny.
And that lonely coaster press operative lives today to tell the tale.
And that blokeis not me.
Cheeky get, licking my arse like that.
